In Black Ops 7 Zombies you do two things well: fight and leave at the right time. You earn the best rewards when you extract after a strong run. You can practice exfil tactics in a CoD BO7 Bot Lobby so you learn routes and timing without the pressure of live players. Use the bot lobby to try exits, test weapons, and see how the HVT behaves.

How exfil works on most maps is simple. A phone booth becomes usable starting around Round 11. After that, it shows up again every five rounds. When you use it, you trigger a timer and one big HVT zombie spawns with a wave of adds. You must kill the HVT and clear the area before time runs out. If you fail, you wait for the booth to come back on schedule. If you win, you keep your progress, crystal gains, and any other rewards from the run.

There is a faster option if you do not want to wait. The Exit Strategy GobbleGum forces an immediate exfil. Use it and you skip the round limit and the timed fight. That is the best emergency move if your team is falling apart or if you just want to lock in an early run. It removes the HVT fight and sends you out right away.

Prepare before you hit an exfil point. First, check weapons and ammo. Bring at least one high-damage weapon and spare ammo for longer fights. Second, pick the right perks. Jugger-Nog, Speed Cola, Stamin-Up, and Quick Revive make the timed fight much easier. Third, bring tactical items. Grenades and monkey bombs let you control crowds while someone focuses the HVT. Healing auras or damage buffs from Field Upgrades help as well. Fourth, pick a smart spot near the booth. You want good sightlines, places to duck, and a way to move if the fight turns bad. Finally, set roles with your team. One player hits the HVT, one handles adds, and one watches for revives or flanks.

Use cover and timing to win the phone booth challenge. When the timer starts, move to prechosen positions that let you aim without being swarmed. Hold choke points and use equipment to split the horde. Let the HVT walk into traps or grenade clusters if you can. Save one or two strong items for the last moments of the timer in case the HVT is tough. If you play solo, stay near a route that lets you kite the HVT while you thin the add waves. Practicing these moves in a u4gm CoD BO7 Bot Lobbies will speed up your learning and help you find safe spots on the map.

One more tip about the GobbleGum exit: treat it like an insurance policy. Do not waste it early unless you know you can win a better run later. If you carry it through several rounds, you gain options. Use it to save a run when ammo is low or when key teammates go down. If you have no Exit Strategy, make sure your squad uses the phone booth only when everyone is ready.
